We were invited to take part in the Audio Programmer monthly meetup for March. Here’s the full video of our panel discussion on physical modelling synthesis, discussing the latest research in the field and how we translate this into real-time plugins. Many thanks to Joshua Hodge for arranging this.

In these 2 videos DATABROTH explores the parameter spaces of Preparation and Derailer. Starting from a basic instrument setup he works through the parameters of each plugin in a real-time demonstration, resulting in a creative exploration of their sonic potential.

This video is the keynote talk given by Stefan at last year’s Timbre 2020 virtual conference. There’s an in-depth account of the development of physical modelling techniques for sound synthesis and it’s relation to control parameters and timbre, along with details of the models created during the NESS project.

We have released all new versions of our physical modelling instrument Derailer, and our Spring and Plate reverbs. These now support both macOS with AU,

Here at Physical Audio we’re just preparing to launch new, updated versions of our instrument and reverb plugins. They have been rewritten in the JUCE framework to give multi-platform output. As part of the relaunch we need to test the plugins on Apple’s new hardware, the M1 processor, as found in the new Mac mini. In this post we’ll look at the performance of this processor using our Plate Reverb algorithm
